We have been coming to The Chestnut Inn for 29 years and are so happy that it is open again! We love the quiet setting of the beautiful lake and the great bands, too!! I wish that there were some more "simple" food options, rather than all the gourmet cuisine. We had people staying in the room above us and could hear them moving around a lot during the night, so they kept waking us up, and we had a loud sound machine. Maybe more floor padding instead of hardwood floors, would help to muffle the sound!! Thank you!!

After some considerable difficulty in having the property honor our reservation, we arrived, got our room and enjoyed a well maintained facility, in a beautiful location, albeit with limited on-site activities, even though located directly on a large lake. On balance, very nice property if you need to be in that area; but not worth travelling there just for the stay.

It was both peaceful and quiet during the day but loud at 4 am. There needs to be a sign that says quiet hours from say 11-7 am. I hate to say anything negative because it is such a beautiful place and the stagf was wonderful but I want to be honest.

It was a pretty setting on the lake. We enjoyed sitting out by the lake and canoeing. The Inn was quaint and had an easy going vibe. The band was a nice addition.

Lovely hotel! You really feel like you’ve stepped back into time, but with annemites that you would expect for today. Great food as well. Staff were efficient. Beds are firm. Bathroom was spotless. Nice quiet location. The room key was a bonus.

Lovely stay

This property is absolutely lovely and inviting! The room was cozy and spotless, and it seems like it’s had some nice updates recently. I especially loved the bathroom, which features a separate whirlpool tub and shower—both in great condition! Just a heads-up, though: the room isn’t accessible for those with mobility challenges, so I might not be able to bring along guests who would need that. Nonetheless, we found it to be the best price for graduation weekend in the Binghamton area! The restaurant offers great drinks and food.

Interesting Experience

The Inn is a beautiful place offering offering superior food and beverage service. That's why we booked a stay there with good friends. However, we were not aware that the restaurant and bar are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays! We were the only 4 people staying at the Inn! Shades of the Shining! It wasn't all bad though. The staff was very accommodating. We were served breakfast and they were always available to help. All in all, a vary unique experience for us. I will continue to recommend The Chestnut Inn.

The property is almost 100 years old with lots of history. It has been recently renovated and done well. It is right on the lake with lots of outdoor sitting and a pier. The staff are all very friendly and you can tell they enjoy working there. The restaurant was nice with delicious food. The reason for not giving 5 stars all across is because the renovation was done to restore to the original so the rooms are small and the bed was not overly comfortable. Though they did have robes which is one my favorite things. It was definitely nice to stay for one night and experience the property.

This is a unique property with a lot of character and history. Rooms were spacious and we had an upgrade because we were the only people there. The A/C and heat units being the ones that vent out the window were very loud. No elevator so dragging luggage up the stairs was a little tough. Overall, very nice place to stay. It is just older but has a lot of charm. The staff was super nice! Brought water to our rooms, made coffee in the morning and helped with our luggage when we departed.

Through no fault of the property, we didn't have enough space in our room (they indicated that the room fit 4 people comfortably, and it did in theory but our 2 boys were too large to share the queen size fold out). Instead of saying there was nothing they could do, they remedied the problem by assuring we had enough space. The beds were comfortable, and we enjoyed the on-site restaurant (the burger was one of the best I've ever had). I would say this is not an ideal hotel for larger families since they indicated that the maximum numbers of beds in each room is 1 a fold out couch, and while each room in theory comes with breakfast, it is based on a comp of $37.99 per room against anything you order at breakfast time. We ordered 1 breakfast platter (eggs, sausage, hashbrowns, toast) an order of french toast for the 4 of us to share, and it wasn't enough food and if we were to have ordered 4 entrees for the table it would have been well over $37.99. The food was delicious though, so no complaints on taste! However, my spouse & I both agreed that we would stay here again if it was just the 2 of us. Very quiet, and has a bit of a romantic vibe.
